The styles of residential dwellings in the
neighborhood were as varied as the population. They were a combination of single- and
multiple- family houses, as can be seen looking at the groupings of people at each address
in the house directories. Nuclear family units co-existed in homes filled with boarders.
Housing units included a few mansions on West Avenue, working class homes on streets like
Arklow Street and apartment buildings in addition to middle class residences.
